Everyone needs to laugh each day - otherwise we start taking life too seriously, so let's laugh @ the dimlibs, just don't turn your back on them. :-)

I'm laughing at your spelling of Philosophy
It's spelled "colostomy".

Our sons read (and re-read) Calvin & Hobbes just about daily. At 9 and 12, they are exposed to a lot of political drivel at school. Calvin & Hobbes provides them with a great antidote, to say nothing of excellent vocabulary!

Shame that Watterston holstered his pen. I always did like Calvin and Hobbes.

Bill Watterson grew up in my hometown of Chagrin Falls, OH. Great guy; so is his father, who I believe still services on the Village Council.
I miss Calvin & Hobbes.

It will always remain one of my favorite strips. Watterson had such a way of getting across a message through a funny comic strip.

Me too... (sniff).
I wonder what B. Watterson is doing with his talent now.

I agree. Watterson could convey more in a simple comic strip than most editorial writers can ever express.

The greatness that was Calvin and Hobbes is summed up in this particular strip. Any daily comic strip that can use phrases like The dynamics of interbeing and monological imperatives in Dick and Jane: A study in psychic transrelational gender modes goes into the cartoon pantheon alongside the likes of Bugs Bunny introducing kids to classical music.

Me too. I liked the one where the father is explaining to Calvin that the world didn't come into color until the 1930s. Paintings before that time became colorized but movies before that time didn't because they were photos of a black and white world. I can't wait to use that on my own kids.

"And do they play Calvinball?"I don't know. It's possible that they call it something else. I've not heard them mention it, but they sometimes devolve into "Brother-speak" and I don't know what they're talking about.
To: GianniV
Whatever happened to Bill and why did he stop such a great comic strip in 1995?

It will always remain one of my favorite strips. Watterson had such a way of getting across a message through a funny comic strip. And the real beauty is that, like Peanuts, they're timeless -- they're as funny and penetrating now as they were when first published.
Compare and contrast to, e.g., Bloom County, which was great for its time, but didn't age well at all.
